It was well worth the 70-mile drive to see one of my all-time favorites – Joan Osborne – perform at the Skagit Valley Casino. She played a number of songs off her current album, Bring It On Home, a few from an album due out next year plus several off her first (1995), Relish. It was just Joan and Keith Cotton on piano doing a beautiful job on her final encore song, “One Of Us.”
Continuing our massive photo assault on Bumbershoot, we’ve gathered images of Oberhofer, Theoretics and Sera Cahoone by Nicky Andrews and Kirk Stauffer. This Tuesday Sera Cahoone will be at Easy Street Records on Queen Anne for a free show!

New Zealand born singer-songwriter, Ladyhawke, recently played at Barboza, one of Seattle’s newest venues and located below Neumo’s. The North American tour in support of her new album, Anxiety will wrap up in LA in a few days, then it’s off to Europe in November.
Photographers Nicky Andrews, Simon Krane and Kirk Stauffer were busy bees at Bumbershoot earlier this month, getting photos of Niki and the Dove, Cosmetics and LP. A band for only approximately four years, Sweden’s Niki and the Dove are signed to Sub Pop and Mercury, and you can catch LP on Late Show with David Letterman on October 3rd.

Tyler Hilton
Taking his time, doing it his way, and making sure to get it done around his acting schedule, (starring as Chris Keller on the CW’s ninth and final season of One Tree Hill),Tyler Hilton has made a triumphant return to making music with his latest CD, Forget The Storm, his first independent CD after leaving Warner Bros. Records. This year’s tour(s) are his first since since opening for Hilary Duff on her “Still Most Wanted Tour” as well as touring with Bethany Joy Lenz (OTH co-star), The Wreckers and Gavin DeGraw, both in 2005. You may also recognize Tyler from Taylor Swift’s music video for “Teardrops On My Guitar,” as well as his role as Young Elvis in the major motion picture Walk The Line. He continues his tour with a few more US dates, then heads to Europe, then wrapping things up just before Thanksgiving back in the states. Seattle natives The Wicks and singer-songwriter Kate Lynne Logan joined Tyler for a few of his Pacific Northwest dates, including this show at the Crocodile on Sept 6th. It was one of the hottest days of the year, but that didn’t stop fans from lining up to see this amazing triple bill.
